My tutoring style depends on the student I am working with. I will not do assignments for the student, but I aim to help them learn the material and increase their education by doing so.

I learn best when I relate the subject to everyday life. Therefore, I enjoy explaining materials in basic terms. I provide links so anyone I teach will remember principles and concepts and to be able to solve problems for themselves. During college, I worked as a Teaching Assistant at Duquesne University for 4 years. There I helped to teach the Pharmaceutics Principles Lab to professional Pharmacy Students. Outside of college, I have recently taught math, science and geography to middle school students.

I enjoy teaching and working with children and watching them learn and grow. I value education and believe that a good education is crucial. Tutors are necessary in order that a child does not fall behind. I am willing to be that tool to help the child succeed in their academics and to make a difference in the child's life. As a cum laude graduate with my Masters in Counseling I am very much driven and motivated to help and assist others in their endeavors to achieve and do well. I have had several years of tutoring elementary students in math and reading. I have been effective at it and welcome the opportunity to do it again.

I believe in applying lessons to real life. I try to find common ground with everyone I meet, and consider myself to be friendly and open to consideration of all viewpoints. I believe my ability to make a vague concept become relevant is my best talent. I have taught at the post-secondary level, and have worked with my disabled daughter. I consider myself to be my own harshest critic, and I believe in working with a student's strengths instead of setting them up for failure.

My BA degree was in Speech & Theatre. Who would have known that a shy kid like me would have excelled in public speaking, english, and theatre. I love the English language, even though I've had classes in French and Spanish. I started school when I was 4 years old (too early), and all my grade school years was challanged with education. Now that I am an adult, I feel that I have the experience to help children understand and find it easier to learn English and grammer, sentence writing, composition writing, essays, etc. Laid back, but encouraging.If a child is struggling, I don't think you should add fear and criticism to the situation. Having had Catholic nuns in all my grammer school days, pretty much put the "fear of God" into me, until I went on to public high school and college. then I was able to relax and embrace english and literature.

I have from an early age worked with children, and have a strong passion to see them both reach as well as exceed their potential. I believe that through gentle yet steady encouragement, guidance, and consistency they can learn and also begin to take leadership in their learning process. While my teaching experience has been solely in the area of Early Childhood, I feel that my Communication Studies degree as well as various work experiences qualify me for this position. While in school I had extensive writing experience, as well as proofreading experience for peers. I have had a wide range of writing experiences from research papers, to writing for both online, as well as a local publication. I believe that my combination of being able to teach in a creative manner, as well as strong English skills, are a dynamic combination for this position. I believe that one of the best ways t

Although it has taken me a long time to find my true calling, I can honestly say that I have. I simply love teaching and working with children. I have a desire to help all students learn to their abilities in a supportive and constructive environment. All students have their own unique style of learning and it is the educator’s responsibility to determine that style and work to bring a student's hidden skills to the surface. Learning is about discovery and discovery proceeds from asking the right questions. It is my ultimate goal for each student to gain academic independence and develop an inner confidence through knowledge. While I had to put my studies on hold for close to a decade because of family concerns, it was during that time that I was able to establish a tutoring business based out of Seattle, WA. I gained valuable experience working with children having many unique learning

My degree in English at Rhodes meant that I studied a wide variety of literature, taking both analytical courses and courses that encouraged me to take what I learned from these writers and apply it to my own writing, further developing my skills as a writer, both creatively and as an analytical thinker. This culminated in my senior year, when I studied literary theory and criticism in my senior seminar, and when I was approved to write a manuscript for my senior writing project, for which I received an A, as well as an academic award: the Allen B. Tate Award for Achievement in Writing, Fiction. In high school, my project for National Honors Society was tutoring at a local elementary school and througout college, I volunteered to tutor with various programs. I absolutely love working with children and will be sensitive to your child's needs and wants, and demonstrate a great deal of pat

As a parent of two school-aged children I have had the oppurtunity to learn about the newest teaching methods employed by teachers at this time. We often work together on math and science. I am currently working on my teaching certification in middle school science, but have always been had excelent aptitude for mathmatics. I also substitute in the Blue Springs, Grain Valley and Fort Osage School district in which I often assist students with work that has been left for them by the teacher, whether it be math, science or english. I am also a published writer and continue to write every day. The most important thing to remember when teaching a child new concepts is patience. All children learn skills in different ways. Some catch on quickly, others need more time. Even the way in which you demonstrate how a problem is solved can make a difference. I usually try several methods for solving

A variety of instructional methods must be used to engage all students in learning. In order to help a child reach his or her potential, a teacher must be willing to acknowledge that student's learning style and work toward improving the child's weaknesses while also enhancing his or her strengths. As a middle school teacher for the past two years, I have discovered that most students learn best and most profoundly when they are allowed to partipate in their own learning instead of just taking orders. As a student at Grinnell College, I was motivated to achieve at a high level. During my four years of college, I earned a BA in French and Biology. I also spent four months during my third year studying in France, where I lived with a host mother and attended classes at a local university. Currently, I am working toward earning my Master's Degree in Education at the University of Missouri-S

I hope you find that I not only have the education and experience to be a top-notch tutor with Advanced Learners, but that I also have the ability to work with children and to help them achieve their educational goals. I have taught and tutored in many different settings and I have always found myself to be comfortable and efficient in each classroom. My grammatical skills and knowledge of the core subjects are both more than proficient for the type of employment advertised. I have recently volunteered at Pettis County R-XII as a tutor for Homeward Bound children who had been expelled and needed help after school. I enjoyed the work and the time spent with the children each day. In the classroom I like to find the balance between high energy learning and thoughtful practice. As a tutor I have found that I am friendly and understanding and that these characteristics help students rela
